Open data, Collaboration, Open data platformsAbstract
Goal: To identify and explore the collaborative elements in open government data, with a focus on open data platforms.
Methodology/approach: An exploratory, qualitative and bibliographical research was conducted in the Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scielo, ACM, Proquest and IEEE databases with the aim of identifying studies that contemplate the development of open government data through collaboration. In addition, a benchmarking analysis was also performed on 32 interactive platforms to identify the best practices and functionalities in terms of collaboration.
Originality/relevance: Open government data can be considered an important and influential innovation that has the potential to drive public value creation. Although many countries maintain open government data portals, the collaborative elements of the portals are limited.
Main findings: The results revealed 25 collaborative elements that can expand the collaborative potential of the open government data environment. These elements have been shown to contribute substantially to a more collaborative and efficient approach, providing universal access and strengthening the use of open data for various purposes, in line with the promotion of transparency and accountability in multiple sectors.
Theoretical contributions: The research contributes by highlighting the need to deepen the study of collaboration in open data, proposing new approaches to develop more integrative and collaborative ecosystems.
Management contributions: This work highlights the importance of seeking collaboration in government open data platforms, contributing to achieving greater transparency, effectiveness and innovation in the use of data.
